Science fin R.ffing

There is, co says Dave Pulsifer, who ought to know, a scientific way of betting on horss races. Like all other scientific methods however, it is hard to attain and not easy to keep up. Horses when they start in at the beginning of the season belong. according to their on merits. to different classes. There are the 2:20 horses, and the 230 and tks 2:40 and the minute horses among the trotters. and among the runners there is the same sort of difference Bookmakers must have their heads filed with horSss with weights. and besides with a great lot of data regarding their performances and their con dition. The outsider, because a horse is the winner of one race. usually makes favorits of him for the next. The bOoblmaker doesn't always do that. And especially Is 1t true that horse which wins several races hand running will become prime favorite with the outsiders while bookmakers and profes- sionals for this very same reason begin to put their money up against him. As rule, .he winning of one race by a runner makes the winning of a second difficult; and. as races are run. the chances of success next time decrease in a certain proportion. This is because of the addition of weight. The racer finally overwcighs himself by his many successes and he then loses.
 On the other hand, owners of slower horses trail along from circuit to circuit losing races; their runners having weight taken of each time, until at some course or other the horse runs light, Is in first class form. his owner backs him to win and win he does. The public does not keep these things in mind. The pool seller and book maker never forgets them They arc his rock in trade. There are of course great many other influences beside that of weight Hard running and the winning by clOSs scratches pulls the best racer down.
 The condition of the horse must be borne as carefully in mind as the weight.
 If a horseman will familiarize himself with all these things,f says Dave Pulsifer, 'he can bet on the horse races and win money, but it will take his time. He can't bet on horse races and win money and do much else besides Chicago Mail

But what a singular adventure it was that sent him to sleep, like the vagrant prince ia the fairy tale, hungry and tired, within bow shot of his future palatial headquarters!- New York Graphic.

A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which sffiIct the kidneys and bladder are SO Dumerous, that mere y to name them would ill 6 space far outrunDinR the limits of thIs article. Suffice it to say that they are both ob- stiDste and dangerous. To their pre- vention HOstetter's Stomach Bitters l. well adapted. The stimnlus which it lends to the action of the kidneys when they are lethsrzic, serve to counteracI tendency m them to lapse, first, into s state of pernicious inactivity, and after wards into one of positive organic dis ease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, poisons the blood and causes desth. A double purpose is served by this depuren'. It promotes activity of the kidneys, and eIpels im purisies from tle blood which have no natural channel of outlet, except those organs.

The Joint Lease,

The Northern Pacific railroad
directors have withdrawn their con-
ditions to the joint lease OF the Or
egon Railway & Navigation prop
erty, to which the Union Pacific
objected. The joint lease Is not
signed, but cuestions about the
legal procedure are understood to
be the only ones which have
not yet been settled. The
Northern Pacific board recently
voted to unite with the Union
Pacific in the lease, but imposed
the condition that each company
should be responsible for only
one-half the guaranteed dividends
and the loss of the company should
be limited to s250,000 a year for
three years. These restrictions
have been withdrawn and the
Northern Pacific directors have
voted in effect to unite with the

eral lease of the Oregon company's
